The Platinum II Internal Combustion or IC forklift offers greater torque and horsepower ideal for a variety of tough outdoor or inside settings. This machinery has the ability to keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II can be powered by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to offer less exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
Similar to the car engine, the internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these equipment to be utilized for outdoor applications. This is due to electric units not being safe for use in the rain. Furthermore, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. For instance, if you require more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely require an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks run on liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating costs are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people choose their machinery based on existing machines and vehicles on hand. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it really makes sense to utilize diesel lift trucks as well.
IC lift trucks provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could easily be filled up at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper initially to buy compared to electric forklifts but really cost more per hour to operate.
The internal combustion forklift would stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck units. Specifically, these machines are utilized to push or tow cargo rather than lifting and driving. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor operation, this can truly be a huge advantage.
